Movie reviews of Olivia Fahy

If you’re looking for something cute and fun to watch this Christmas that will give you that warm and fuzzy feeling that only this time of year can give then Christmas with the Coopers is definitely the film for you. It captures Christmas so well and everyone will be able to relate to some aspect of it. Review

With top notch action, special effects, storyline and old and new characters, Rogue One is another triumph for the franchise. Review

Billy used every aspect of filmmaking to his advantage for this film. From the surroundings and soundtrack, to the writing and performances, it all worked together in unison to produce one of the best thrillers of the year. Review

Hanks, Eckhart, Eastwood and crew have done a fantastic job bringing this incredible story to the big-screen in an exceptionally faithful fashion. Review

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a wonderfully crafted and performed film and knowing we have four more to come, I for one can hardly wait. Review

From strong performances and story structure to fabulous special effects, Doctor Strange is the full package. Review

The Infiltrator is a fantastic film that brings to light the efforts and commitment of the members of Operation C-Chase. With a fantastic cast and a great story to work with, The Infiltrator is great start to the pre-awards season madness. Review

The 9th Life of Luis Drax is a wonderful film with great cinematography and performances to boot. It may drag a little and have some clichés, but that doesn’t mean it’s a film that should be avoided. In fact, I’d recommend the opposite. Review

The performances are fantastic, the special effects are on point, and the reinvented story is perfect. It’s one of the most beautiful films released in years that children will love and will break adults’ hearts for all the right reasons. Review

Dory is just as lovable this time around and the creative team behind Finding Dory haven’t let the fans down. Review

Jarring CGI aside, The BFG is a magical film that fans of the Roald Dahl book will be thrilled with. Review

Absolutely Fabulous The Movie should have had us rolling on the floor laughing our asses off but instead had us cringing and wondering where the jokes were. Review

Now You See Me 2 is full of fun and adventure, and anyone with love of magic and hi-jinks will enjoy it. Fans of the first will appreciate the direct continuation of the storyline, and be thrilled with the new characters. The filmmakers have definitely captured the magic of the first and may have even surpassed it with the sequel. Review

The Secret Life of Pets is a great family film and even with a G rating, there are still plenty of moments for grownups to enjoy. Review

Gods of Egypt is abysmal on so many levels that the only benefit from having seen it is to help warn others to not put themselves through it and to save their money. Review

As much as Alice through the Looking Glass is pleasing to the eyes, it is more frustrating to watch than enjoyable. Plot-holes the size of sink-holes and spoiling the film for audiences is unacceptable for a film of this stature. Review

Its sharp wit, beautiful cinematography, and charming performances bring a light hearted Jane Austen tale to life. Review

It’s an interesting story with plenty going on to hold your attention and good performances too. Fans of Tina Fey shall rejoice and her critics will also. It’s a well balanced story and you have to admire Kim and all that she achieved in spite of her surroundings. It’s not perfect but definitely worth a look if you’re fed up with all the superhero films out at the moment. Review

It’s well written and executed scenes like this that attracted such a strong cast and there are absolutely no weak links in the bunch. Review

Considering I am a huge fan of the comic Civil War, I was hugely impressed with the cinematic version. Review

The Jungle Book is a feast for the eyes and soul. Review

Midnight Special is superbly written, performed, directed; you name it, it did it well. After a series of let downs from big budget films, it’s relieving to see that the indie community can deliver such a high standard on 10% of a blockbuster budget. Review

The Huntsman: Winter’s War is a fabulous film with amazing fight sequences and special effects. The new additions to the cast compliment the returning cast brilliantly with Blunt definitely stealing the show. Review

Eddie’s story is truly inspiring and regardless of the accuracy of the film, is still the heart of the story. Review
